$derivdef\left(-\frac{1}{2}-1\right)$
Learn how to solve definition of derivative problems step by step online. Find the derivative of -1/2-1 using the definition. Divide -1 by 2. Subtract the values -\frac{1}{2} and -1. Find the derivative of -\frac{3}{2} using the definition. Apply the definition of the derivative: \displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}. The function f(x) is the function we want to differentiate, which is -\frac{3}{2}. Substituting f(x+h) and f(x) on the limit, we get. Subtract the values \frac{3}{2} and -\frac{3}{2}.
